Syntax

E8601DZw.


Syntax Description

w

specifies the width of the output field.

Default: 26
Range: 20 - 35

Details

UTC values specify a time and a time zone based on the zero meridian in Greenwich, England. The E8602DZ format writes SAS datetime values using one of the following ISO 8601 extended datetime notations:

yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss+|-hh:mm

is the form used when w is large enough to support this time zone notation.

yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ssZ

is the form used when w is not large enough to support the +|- hhmm time zone notation.

where
yyyy

is a four-digit year, such as 2008

mm

is a two-digit month (zero padded) between 01 and 12

dd

is a two-digit day of the month (zero padded) between 01 and 31

hh

is a two-digit hour (zero padded), between 00 - 24

mm

is a two-digit minute (zero padded), between 00 - 59

ss

is a two-digit second (zero padded), between 00 - 59

Z

indicates that the time is for zero meridian (Greenwich, England) or UTC time.

+|-hh:mm

is an hour and minute signed offset from zero meridian time. Note that the offset must be +|-hh:mm (that is, + or - and five characters).

Use + for time zones east of the zero meridian and use - for time zones west of the zero meridian. For example, +02:00 indicates a two hour time difference to the east of the zero meridian, and -06:00 indicates a six hour time differences to the west of the zero meridian.

Restriction: The shorter form +|-hh is not supported.
